Recognition of previous research
PhD students who have enrolled for the first time in a UAM Doctorate Programme may exceptionally request the recognition of their research activity for a period equivalent to a "tutela" (academic year), once their Research Plan is approved, and provided that this previous activity makes relevant contributions to the approved Plan. The application must be adressed to the Permanent Committee of the Doctorate School and sent to EDUAM (doctorado.gestion@uam.es; subject: Reconocimiento de tutela) at the same time as the Research Plan is submitted on Sigma and always before October 5th.
After the approval of the Academic Commitee, the decision must be confirmed by the Permanent Committee of the Doctorate School.
Exceptionally, previous research activity can be recognized for the first year ("primera tutela") in the following cases:
- Thesis carried out as Co-supervised ("cotutela"), started in a foreign university.
- Thesis started in other universities (file transfers)
